Why this spot
1930-1952 sawmill company town
Caddo River Lumber Company built Forester as a sawmill town in 1930, and a 22-mile railroad extension from Waldron reached it in 1932. Dierks Lumber and Coal bought it in 1945, but depleted forests closed the mill in 1952 and the buildings and rail line were removed.View source →
